On Turtle Island, everyone knows your business—
and some secrets are worth killing for.
Grace Appleton has always been good at listening. As the owner of A Breath of Fresh Hair, she hears every whisper, confession, and half-truth that floats through her salon. But when a famous author turns up dead at the island bookstore, Grace’s talent for gathering information puts her in serious danger.
What begins as curiosity quickly unravels into a decades-old secret involving a stolen manuscript, a vanished writer, and an island determined to protect its past. As threats escalate and lines blur between friend and suspect, Grace must decide how far she’s willing to go for the truth.
With the help of her childhood best friend Danny—and an entire island watching her every move—Grace races to solve a mystery rooted in betrayal before the killer strikes again.
